I understand and appreciate the work writers and thinkers do in chronicling and categorizing the different conservative movements and ideologies but there should be much more weight placed on “hey these people are all bigots” than is given.
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.
Why are these people such freaks?

I guess I lost track of Brigitte Bardot after my childhood where I learned that she was a famous hot lady from the past and am just catching up on her recent activities of loving animals, hating non-white people and being dead

Was once in an elevator with Gillian Anderson. She looked like she had the flu at the time. I'm a massive X-Files fan, but I managed to keep my cool. I just politely told her that I love her work, then she shook my hand. A day later I got the flu. Thanks Gillian, best flu ever.

This week, Deep Space Nine starts again — with a second pilot episode just over two and a half years after the first one. It’s The Best of Both Worlds, only much faster, funnier and more confident. And this is just the beginning. Again.

addendum, nostalgia for the media of yesteryear makes you a clown because alllll that shit SUCKED ASS
People watched because they had no other choice, but the best thing on teevee in 1968 was UNWATCHABLE DOGSHIT compared to the 5th best show on any modern C Tier streaming platform

the 100% consistent attitude of prestige media outlets is that we should suffer, and if something makes you feel better and eases your path in life, be it GLP-1s or transition or estrangement from your birth family or polyamory or a million other things, it must be subjected to infinite skepticism
